When you create a new canvas report with Report Center, a report with a single blank page is generated. The content of canvas report pages is built using Page Designer. Page Designer builds pages based upon components. Details on adding components are in the next section.
Page Designer also allows you to manage the pages within a report, which includes the following:
- Adding pages (new or existing in another report)
- Renaming pages
- Reordering pages
- Deleting pages (Current report or orphaned pages)
To add a new page in Page Designer, complete the following steps:
- In Report Center, edit the report to create a new page.
- Using the Page menu, select New Page or Add Existing Page.
a) If you choose New Page, a new blank page with an auto-generated name is added to the report.
b) If you add an existing page, you must select the page from another report or an orphaned page (not assigned to any report).
Note
You can delete existing orphaned pages when selecting Add Existing Page. - The new page will load in Page Designer.
You can modify the setting pages of your report. To modify the settings, choose Page Properties tile→edit page properties. You can set the following:
- Name of the page: The name is visible in the navigation list when viewing the report online.
- Output Defaults: Configure settings for exports, including paper size, orientation, and margin settings.
- Canvas Size: Determine the canvas size by either matching the paper size or configuring manually.
Deleting Orphan Pages
Because pages may be shared or reused in multiple reports, they might become "orphaned" when the Canvas Reports that use them are deleted.
From the Add Existing Page option from the Page menu, select the Orphan Page from the list and select Delete.
